Safety information for electric hedge trimmers
•
Make sure you keep all parts of your body away from the
blades. Never attempt to remove cuttings with the blades
running or hold material you want to cut. Always switch off the
hedge trimmer before attempting to remove any jammed cuttings.
A single moment of carelessness when using the hedge trimmer
can result in serious injuries.
•
Carry the hedge trimmer by its handle and make sure the
blades have stopped. Always fit the protective cover when
transporting the hedge trimmer or putting it into storage.
Careful handling of the hedge trimmer reduces the likelihood of
injury by the blades.
•
Keep the cable out of the cutting zone. During operation, the
cable may be hidden in the hedge and it could be cut through by
accident.
•
Before you start trimming hedges, check that there are no conce-
aled objects, for example wire fences, in the hedge.
•
To further reduce the danger of electric shock, we recommend
that you use a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of
30 mA or less.
•
Hold the hedge trimmer correctly, for example with both hands if it
is fitted with two handles.
•
If the cutting mechanism becomes jammed in thick branches,
etc., stop using the hedge trimmer immediately. Disconnect the
power plug before you start looking for the cause of the blockage.
•
Proper inspection and maintenance of the hedge trimmer is requi-
red at regular intervals. Damaged blades should only be replaced
as pairs. If the trimmer is damaged by falling or impact, it must be
inspected by a qualified person.
•
Do not use the hedge trimmer if it has a damaged or excessively
worn cutter.
•
Ensure that all handles and protective equipment are properly fit-
ted when you are using the hedge trimmer.
